What's different about the pc card slot

i thought it was the same as before?
and do pc cards have to be made for mac. or could i go buy any pc card type expansion thing and put it in my powerbook?
i think i understand from the thread that just got locked away that i couldn't with a macbook. right?
i saw a FW 800 pc card earlier today on the internet and though 'oh, you could just put one of those in' but it sounds like i'm in the techno dark here.
thanks for any clarity,
joey

With serial, the data is transferred digital-bit-by-digital-bit down a single wire (actually, a pair of wires is needed to complete the electrical circuit). With parallel, multiple bits are sent over multiple wires at the same time. The advantage to serial is that it can operate at higher speeds than parallel because it doesn't have to wait for a whole group of bits to get to the destination before the next group of bits is sent.
Serial-ATA is just a particular serial communication standard, analogous to USB or Firewire.

  • What is different about the new Airport Extreme?

    I've been waiting for a refresh of the Airport line before I buy a new one; I can't tell if the new one is available or not.  What is different about the Airport Extreme that the FCC listed in June 2011 from the October 2009 model?  I currently have the UFO-shaped Airport from 2003 and it doesn't have enough ports on the back, so it's time to upgrade.
    So... what's different?  Is it out yet?

    What is different about the Airport Extreme that the FCC listed in June 2011 from the October 2009 model?
    We don't have any official announcement or specifications from Apple regarding this so called June 2011 model. At any given time there are dozens of rumors floating around on the Internet regarding new products.
    The terms of use agreement of the forum.....which we all agreed to.....do not permit us to discuss a product that has not been officially announced from Apple.
    When/if that occurs, and Apple has provided us some specifications to look at.....we can talk about the "new" product.

  • What's different about the CC version?

    I'm getting completely confused about the CC version.  Is it still possible to work on a standalone machine (i.e. not connected to the internet) or does one have to be connected to the internet to do any work? My problem is that I do a lot of work while traveling in trains, planes, etc.. and if I need to be connected then, that's it - I can't upgrade to the new range of Adobe design suite, which would be a shame!! Any help would be appreciated.

    No disrespect intended but you must have been in hiding for the past year and especially since June.
    Adobe have dropped the CS products with CS6 being the last, they have promised some bug fixes but users are not holding their breath waiting.  The great thing about the CS range has been that they have perpetual licenses, that is pay once and use forever.
    The CC is a subscription based "service" where users pay a monthly fee, users need to log in once per month to validate the license to ensure the software continues to work.  Cease subscribing and the software stops working.
    Please do not start a rant, that has been done to death, the situation is what Adobe have given users, take it or leave it.
    As you appear to be a CS user do the math and you will see that the CC is way the heck more expensive than the previous upgrade route.
    Many CS users are actively looking or have moved to other manufacturers.
    In my view the CC subscribers have thieir heads stuck so far up their own cloud that the sun is shining.  Meekly submitting to Adobe, if we all stood firm and said no give us CS7 they would soon have to change their working practice
    If your CS is not broke, take my advice and do not fix it.

  • I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if i phone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.

    I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if the iphone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.

    It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

  • Great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my

    great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

    The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations.  Thank Apple for that.
    You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
    But first, give us details about your setup:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

    Why?
    The 5770 is a better replacement. The 8800 you are stuck with ebay for about same price.

    There is an Apple program on some X1900s too.

  • I can not open the microsim card slot and my ipad is brand new!

    When i try to opne the microsim card slot to introduce the sim card nothing happpens. Can somebody tell where and how I introduce the microsim card in my ipad?

    The trick is pushing the SIM eject tool in a 45 degree angle as was also the case with the iPad 2, as opposed to the  iPad 1 (and all iPhones). Pushing it in a 90 degree angle won't open the tray, unlike in the listed models.
    Also see the photo and description at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4577 , which also shows this.

  • The SD card slot has hidden my pictures - how can I access them??

    When I first put my memory card in the SD slot of my Macbook Pro, I imported photos fine. But now all the pictures are no longer visible in iphoto/finder/my camera - the files themselves are not there in the finder. If I take new pictures, those pictures are visible on my camera viewer, and then when I use the SD slot only the new ones are visible until I eject it. There's still space taken up on the card so I don't think they've been deleted - but how can I access them? I don't plan to use the SD card slot anymore, but now I'd just like to be able to access those pictures.
